The Church of the Good Shepherd is a Roman Catholic church in Woodthorpe, Nottinghamshire.^[2] It is a Grade II* listed building.^[1]

History

The church was opened on 23 July 1964; it celebrated its Golden Jubilee commemorating fifty years of service in 2014.^[3] The architect was Gerard Goalen and the modern design won an award from the Royal Institute of British Architects in 1966.^[4] The dalle de verre stained glass is by Patrick Reyntiens.^[5]^[1]

In 2012, the church was awarded £119,000^[6] by English Heritage to resolve issues with concrete cancer and reinforcement decay which was eroding the fabric of the building.^[7] The roof and concrete fascia replacement cost about £300,000 despite the English Heritage grant.^{[citation needed]}
